Some say it's just another book of stories, myths, and legends.
Some with useful lessons but nothing that hasn't been done before.
Others claim it's no more than a guide to moral conduct, much like today's self help books.
This episode of Face The Truth, find out how these historical events
prove the Bible contains more than just good advice.
It contains the actual words of God.
Hello and welcome to Face The Truth, a program brought to you by The Church Of Christ.
I am Brother Barry Thompson.
Opinions. People have questions about life and where this world is headed.
There are about seven billion different opinions as much as there are people on earth.
For each will tell you what he or she believes. Let's take a look at this.
Does it look like the world's going to end? No it's not.
Someone asks the question
why are you here?
We are here to
live the life the way it is.
Since we were conceived, there was a tiny little ball called life information ball.
Everything is pre-planned on that and everybody has to follow the plan
according to the pre-planned life information ball.
The existential's view basically says that the burden is on you.
That if you want to figure out the meaning of life you have to recognize that's the wrong question asked
because there is no singular meaning.
One millimeter here you're in the sand.
He said you're also hitting the ground by one millimeter sometimes. You're not stroking it.
Just one millimeter.
I thought what a great belief system that when all hell is breaking loose and nothing's working
that you're only one millimeter off.
'Cause most people think it's impossible so they give up. Isn't that true?
You don't try and build a wall. You don't set out to build a wall.
You don't say I'm going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever been built.
You don't start there. You say, "I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid."
And you do that every single day and soon you have a wall.
Now some opinions carry more weight than others.
Some turn to talk show hosts like Oprah or the people and books she endorses.
Have you heard about it? This is The Secret.
In the past few months, talk about this DVD has been spreading around the world.
Others may turn to self-help gurus,
while many turn to the writings of Gandhi, Confucius, and various other religious texts.
Now there are tons of opinions, but where can we find real tangible facts, not only about life itself,
but exactly what is happening to the world and what will happen to the world in the very near future.
Now we believe that it is only the Bible that sets itself apart from various philosophies,
because it's only the Bible that has proven itself to be completely truthful.
Now the proof is that there are very specific things that were written down thousands of years ago
and they happened exactly as they were foretold.
Now on a previous episode we showed you how the Bible foretold, not only about the First World War,
that is written in Matthew 24:6-7,
but also about the weapons that would be used in that war. That is written is in Jeremiah 4:11-13 and 19.
And even how it would be stopped by four great leaders as mentioned in Revelation 7:1.
Now does the Bible mention even more precise details about the First World War?
We'll find out when we return on Face The Truth.
